Fly away...

Butterflies are my thing. Yes, I know, flowers are my thing but I have more than one thing. I love butterflies and I bought these butterfly wings for a photo session but ended up wearing them myself to a princess party. I was the photo fairy. Get it? These were in my car and the light was glinting off the sparkles, just like fairy dust. Fairies are not my thing but I like them. See, I do have some restraint. Oh and I find it funny that I drive a ‘Pilot’ and these are ‘wings’. I am too easily amused, aren’t I? June 7th

13 Days...

The last photo post was 13 days ago!  June 6th the world was sunny and my computer was fine.  Now, on the 19th of June, my computer is limping along and I am editing images again.  I can't believe I have to catch you up on 13 days worth of photos.  I won't get them all in tonight but I will give it the old, college try!  Here goes...

Take two aspirin...

I know I haven’t posted in a while.  I am sorry but my computer caught a wicked cold.  A nasty virus that was trying its very best to kill the poor thing.  Luckily I have a husband who is the Computer Whisperer and he has slowly been bringing it back to life.  I have been saying for a week now, ‘What does this do for people?’  Does anyone out there know why someone who doesn’t know me and doesn’t even know that they reached me created a virus that could wreak such havoc?  What is the motivation? 

Well, my motivation hasn’t changed.  I have been taking photos the whole time and I will be posting them tomorrow.  Later today really, it is way too late for me to be up.  I need my beauty sleep. 

I am downloading the photos to my lovingly cured computer and will show them to you as soon as I can.

Good night for now. 

 

Sunset...

It is a cliché. Thank you for thinking it, I know it already, but I really loved the way the colors were dancing across the sky. Has it been done before: yes. Has it been done better: yes. Do I care: not really. Will I do it again: you betcha! It is almost summer and I love those long, lazy days that end in technicolor shows of clouds and sky and watercolor dreams. I see a hand holding a feather, what about you? June 6th

The light dawns...

It was the end of a crazy, kind of lazy day and I must say that inspiration was scarce on the ground. I just wasn’t feeling it. It happens; sometimes it all seems OK but not note worthy. I find it happens most when I am on allergy medicine. Mmm… could there be a connection: fuzzy brain, lethargic spirit. I am still trying to deal with the whole non-drowsy thing. You know it isn’t true. I digress… Then I looked up and inspiration struck. I must say I get some interesting looks from people. I don’t think many Applebee’s customers take photos of their lamps. What can I say? I live on the edge. June 5th.

Fairytales...

I have the best friends. Sincerely, truly, good people who do good things like transform a backyard into a fairy castle filled with treasures just to see a little girl smile. It was magical. I admit that part of what drew me to the event was the chance to take part in a girly, girl party filled with giggles and pink ribbons. I have a Pokemon and basketball obsessed boy who is growing too fast to giggle with much longer so the promise of 4-year-old joy was too much to ignore. As I sat at the table having lip-gloss heavily applied by a mini-makeup artist and rings laced onto all my fingers, I was sure that good deeds do bring great joy. I’ll never know if that played a part in the other women’s efforts (and their husband’s too) but if so, it was a small part. The rest was pure gold intentions strung on silver threads of kindness.

Pretty in pink...

These are so beautiful and the last of my rhododendrons. The reds, whites, and purples have come and gone but the pinks just came out to play. They are so beautiful now but I think I will have to do a post on what they look like when they are finished showing off their colors: not so pretty. It is definitely worth it, though, for this show of color. June 3rd
